OK, so "0" is:
A number - arithmetic
A vector - linear alg
A place holder - notation
A concept - null
Thinking about this in the context of computer science - That means we have virtual functions IN THE REAL WORLD!
Sometime math makes me feel weird.

I have had some fantastic teachers in school but it is rare. I don't understand how I would have made it without YouTube and Chatgpt. Some professor are so bad I just watch other schools course lectures on the 'tube and bring up my questions to chat.

I'm studying for my Calc test, just trying to match the patterns of formula I'm taught to the problems I'm solving. Hope to hell I'm not hallucinating worse than a shit LLM...

I refuse to read this as anything other than `[Jeffries] comes up short'
